Groving

Not being a football fan, I can’t tell you how little I
really care about Saturday games in a college town. I promise you, I’m not your
average college student. There is something special, though, about having your
own tent in The Grove to tailgate. It’s honestly the only way I like to
tailgate. You have your friends and family surrounding you, a place to sit,
relax, with yummy food to eat and bubbly to drink. The Grove really is something
special, I will say that.

“The Grove is the legendary tailgating area located at the
center of the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) campus. Surrounded by
ancient oaks, mysterious elms, and Mississippi magnolias, the 10-acre sized
plot known as “The Grove” plays host, most autumn Saturday afternoons, to
thousands of Ole Miss Rebel tailgaters,” –Wikipedia.

I had the best time this weekend while my friends and family
visited. My parents rented two tents in The Grove and brought all kinds of
goodies to enjoy. My three best friends from high school to visit, my brothers,
and two of my younger cousins. It was a great weekend!

I'm not into football but I am into the social aspects of the sport. I can't help it, I just get bored by the third quarter. But I do love being around friends and family and if they like sports, I can be found at least at the tailgate.
